Application filed August 16,1907 Serial No. ("lilidlilL T 0 all whom it :mz i (on Be 11; known that l, .451. MULLINIX, a citizen of rho and State of lions-us, have invented. a new and useful, (loinbinationlool. of which the following is e specification.

This invention relates tools.

The object of the invention is in a ready, practical and compact manner, to combine in one tool a hatchet, pipe wrench; improved nail puller, screwdriver, saw set, compassesv square and rule, and to dispose the various implements in such manner that either may be used without being interfered with by the others.

With the above and other objects in view, as will appear as the nature of r' to combination he invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction and. arrangement of par of the combination tool as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying iilrawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like characters of reference indicate correspond ing parts, Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a tool constructed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 is at similar View, artly broken away, and taken from the si e t the tool opposite that shown in Fig. l. rig. 3 is a plan view. Fig. t is a perspective view in detail of a reversible pi e wrench jaw employed in connection with t in too The implement embodies a hatchet 1, and

v a handle 2, which latter nniv be either wood or metal, as preferred. The hatchet is provided with a driving head 3 including a nail claw 4, and with a blade 5 provided on its outer side and adjeoent lo its cutting edge with an extension 6 that constitutes a screw' driver and in its inner side with two notches 7 and 8, the leaner of which constitutes a nail pull and the latter a saw set.

The head 3 is provided in its outer edge with a toothed depression or sent 9 that constitutes the stationary jaw ol a pipe wrench, the removable jaw 10 oi which is normally detached from the head. This latter jaw 10 is toothed on both sides and is provided on 0nd side with a boss 11 that is pierced by a threaded orilice 12 extendingentireli through 1 the straight edge of the handle.

The aw 10 is designed to enn'age l the jaw. I wlth a threaded arm 13 thet is mounted for pivotal movements upon bolt 14 which United States, r i siding at Burlington, in the county of Volley l l l passes throng? a pair oi ears l5 and i6 integral with the driving head and llnsh with the h m and l s n threaded engagement The inner lace of e oi the ears. paroled in engage a similar face (inn 1 3, and in order to in positive com the ear on the head 1'. J' hold the {re beveled hn b a eoi is mounted upon the on the our 15 and the t i- 1? ol the arm 13. l he ohjr 1 heroled times and the spring is in arm 13 lirnil in the position shown in Fig. l, which is the nornial 0310,01 in other position That shown in Fig. 2 is the one which it is sensed to assume when the inipienmit is employed as a i e Wrench, and in which the jaw 10 will be old firmly in c nt -:r' oith :1v pipe. i'Vhen the jaw 10 is positioned as shown in Fig. 2, that is with the b l disposed towards the haminer head, the v neh is arranged for operating on. reiw J0 large pipes or the like, While by reversing the position of the jaw, small iipes and other objects can be engaged. The threaded eorn'iei'ztion between the jaw and the arm will also permit the former to be adjusted to iit any size of wipe within its limit, and this materially adds usefulness to the attachment.

It will be observed that the pitch of the teeth of the jaw 10 is towards the lug, and by this arrangement when the use the torsional strain will cause the jaw to more towards the jaw 9 and thereby firmly grip the objeot in a manner similar to an ordinary alli tor wrench.

The s nare is produced by having that edge of the handle inning the blade straight and by providing it with a graduated scale constituting a rule and by forming the blade with an extension ill the edge of which is at right angles to the handle. in order to reinforce the ho "lie and the eye of the hatchet there is :in ex onsion 20 provided that is integral with the head and has it. outer end pointed pin IZ that may be either perinanentl or delacinihly connected with the eye portion of the hatchet and slightly within In using the implement as a i'zoinpasses, the pin is sunk into the surface to be scribed and a pencil or other iniple nent will be held opposite the implement is in graduation mark on the handle that will give thedesired circumference to the circle. A further use of the. arm 13 is to "constitute a fulcrum for the claw 4 in drawing nails of considerable length, and this result is secured by turning the arm at right angles to the position'shown in Fig. '2' and projecting beyond the head 3. It will thus be seen that the claw can be made to draw nails of any length without employing a chock or supplemental fulcrum such as is commonly done.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that while the implement embodies numerous features, each is disposed in the most convenient position for use, andfurther that no interference will ensue between one of the attachments and another when the imple ment is employed for any purpose.

What is claimed is 1. The combination with a tool head pro vided with a toothed aw, of an arm piv0tally connected with t e head for swinging movementparallel with the longitudinal axis thereof, and a double toothed jaw enga ing the arm and provided on one side with a oss whereby to increase the space between two jaws for the purpose of engaging pipes or the 2. The combination with a tool head provided with a toothed jaw, of a threaded arm pivotally connected with the head, and a double toothed jaw engaging the arm and rovided on one side with a boss whereby to mcrease the space between two jaws'for the the head, an arm mounted upon the bolt and rovided with an inclined face, a similarly taced boss with which the fajce'of the arm coacts, a coiled spring upon the bolt to hold the two faces in contact, and a toothed jaw carried by the arm.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
